just a note . f.y.i it is illegal to own or to sell any part of a Polar Bear in the United States any more. It would be unwise to try to do this in aa public forum such is this. Just sayin...

it is not completely illegal, we all know this. there are certain conditions that make it legal to both own and sell. you can even buy it online now through certain fly shops.

After some extensive searching, I must defer to H dot Versman et al on this one. Apparently, I was wrong. There are some exemptions to the Marine Mamal act of 1972. Namely that it is legal to sell and own Polar Bear fur that was here in the U.S. prior to 1972. How that is determined I have no idea. :unsure: Please forgive my prior pompous declaration to the contrary. :(

Please excuse me now... My head hurts :huh:

To buy/sell Polar bear you need to have proof that it is pre 1972 act. FTF will not allow any sales of any material on FTF that deals with any banned material, even with documentation. Because it is simply too much of a grey area and we will not risk the site over it. Thanks.
